On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I am delighted to send best wishes to the people of Luxembourg as you celebrate your National Day this June 23.

The friendship between our two countries is strengthened by our shared commitment to advancing freedom and prosperity. Luxembourg has been central to promoting European unity and integration. Your leadership has helped bring together the countries of Europe and contributed to the dynamism that we see today in our transatlantic relationship.

As you commemorate your National Day, know that the people of the United States stand with you. Best wishes for a joyful celebration and a future filled with peace, prosperity and happiness.
